#TuesdayTune ~ You'll Never Walk Alone, Japan.

These beautiful Sakura flowers, the Japanese cherry blossom, would have to be one of my very favourite flowers. They are so pretty and unique. They are also a favourite because they represent hope. Today, these flowers are a sign of the hope that we all hold for the thousands of people who have suffered in Japan over the past week.

My prayers go out to everyone who has been affected by the earthquake and tsunamis in Japan. I am dedicating this week's Sunday Song to our friends in Japan. I hope they know that they are not alone in this long and harrowing journey towards re-building and recovering from this terrible natural disaster.

Hello fellow Ozzie, Nice to meet you here. The people in Japan certainly have had a terrible time. One thing I have observed from the news broadcasts is no referance to looting. They seem a very sweet respectful race. Those cherry blossoms are beautiful.I cannot imaging seeing many of them together? Have a great week. Blessings CM

What a beautiful post darling! Those flowers are extremely beautiful also one of my favs as well they are so delicate and just breathe taking when the whole tree is in bloom..I hope your well and so is the fam <3

You'll never walk alone... beautiful song Natasha. So so sad, so heart breaking. LOVE your pretty images. When I lived in Vancouver, B.C. I would take all 3 kids to Stanley Park and walk under the cherry blossoms. The wind would pick up and the blossoms flew all over us. Magical.Happy PSLove Claudiexooxoxo

This is beautiful Natasha. There are so many prayers going up for a people that have been devastated. It's just so sad to see what Mother Nature can unleash.I love cherry blossoms and there beauty has been captured perfectly.Happy Pink Saturday, Char

A touching tribute to our dear friends and families in Japan. This year the dew that settles upon the cherry blossoms weep tears instead of misty droplets...The start of a poem I think fir a Sunday Song?

I so miss the cherry blossom festival in DC and the National Mall. We all mourn the loss of Japan's country far beyond the insurgent rebels that terrorize the land.

A beautiful tribute, the cherry blossom in Japan is something I have a dream to see for myself.I have already prepared my Sunday Song so I will link to my own little tribute to the world in turmoil as well this week Natasha xx

I actually thought of you & your family just having visited Tokyo & I am sure you left a bit of your heart in Japan. It seems so unreal being so far away so I love your pictures & tribute to keep the awarness Natasha. Love to you & your sweet family & of course to the people of Japan.

Natasha,Thank you for inviting me to your lovely tribute to Japan. It is so true we have to be strong in prayer for the people there. Watch and see the miracles that enfold as the response to so many of us with broken hearts who stand by believing God to help them. Our prayers will remind all of us that we do not walk alone.

Beautiful beautiful cherry blossom, and a lovely post today Natasha. I'm sure we will all be continuing to pray for all those poor souls in Japan. And the song you have chosen is so apt. Take care dear friend.

Beautiful tribute, Natasha. The cherry blossoms are gorgeous and how appropriate that they represent Hope. Around the world hearts are aching for the people of Japan who are dealing with these disasters. Thank you for this lovely post. ~ Sarah

Hi Natasha ... your post is very beautiful. I tied together tonight's big moon with the song "Somewhere Out There" ... my heart goes out to our friends in Japan and others in the world who are suffering. Thanks and God bless!

I didn't post my cherry blossoms for this specific purpose, but it certainly fits, doesn't it. It's a beautiful flower for a beautiful people. My dad traveled extensively to Japan for years for work. He loved them very much. I remember when he was sick with cancer, they gathered the entire plant outside for a photo of them holding up a huge GET WELL sign.

Thank you for sharing the beautiful photos of cherry blossoms. Each year in Washington (DC), a cherry blossom festival is held (beginning this year on March 26th), but with the recent events there will be sadness.

This is my first visit to your blog and I have the opportunity to join with you and others in prayer for those in Japan.

Natasha, this is such a beautiful post ~ visually and emotionally. What a wonderful way to remind us all to be in prayer for all of those who have suffered these horrors. It seems that every time they think things can't get any worse, they do get worse! The Japanese nation remains in my prayers. Thank you for linking this to Favorite Things. laurie

I do love cherry blossoms or sakura flowers too! they're absolutely beautiful, Japan is in my prayers since the first time I heard about the news in CNN, I'm from Indonesia and we've been hit too many times too by earthquakes and tsunamis. Thank you for sharing the beautiful post. x

Beautiful post. The pictures are absolutely gorgous. Thank you for sharing this tribute to a beautiful country. The video is beautiful as well. I hope they know the world is praying for them and deeply concerned about them.Blessings,Charlotte

What a sweet post! So heartfelt and beautiful. I didn't have anything I thought would be appropriate,so I said a prayer instead. It's so hard to comprehend the devastation, the pain and suffering there. I pray Gods strength and love touches each citizen of Japan.

Natasha, what a beautiful idea for a post dedication... Japan is such a wonderful country, with a rich history and people who value tradition and family; we should all extend our hearts out to them in this tragic time. Your photos are absolutely gorgeous and somewhat serene, peaceful. I love them!

It is almost unbeliveable what is happening. This is Wed. morning and I am putting off listening to the news - it seems to only get worse. We all hope and pray for the involved people in this latest catastrophe and the others that happened prior to this one.
